Came across these two ads on Craigslist. Is this some sort of scam, or is the buyer out of touch with what these are worth (or am I out of touch on what these are worth)? Bonus ridiculousness on the comment about the +45 HP for the straight pipe.

Looks to me like the author is making jokes/trolling.
Decimal in the wrong place?
"I know what I got, will consider trade for new 911" 
Yeah. Trolling.
The rapid rise in value of the GTI put a bunch of panties in a twist. They quickly went from $2500 cars to $25K. Old timers reacted with anger. Most other folks seized the opportunity to cash in. Then the owners of base model and diesels decided it should probably apply to them as well.
Both listings show rebuilt titles... and mileage (kms) is high..
I wouldn't consider either unless the prices lost a "0" or more.
I have an 89k mile GTI with a clean title, all it needs is a new distributor, easy fix, I'll take $20k or an R32 GT-R/Audi RS3 in trade. No lowballers I know what I got
You should see the trolling for A1 chassis hood release mechanisms!
Zimbabwe dollars... :)
Related but A2. I am surprised this MK2 has not been picked up yet. Seems clean but not 16V?

In reply to GTwannaB :
That's a pretty good price, actually, if you're into the big-bumper cars.
As a Rabbit GTI owner that has poured money and mods into one for 20yrs I'm thrilled that that came up in value. There are indeed nuts folks out there on value though. I've seen 2-3 nice GTI's in the 7-12K range that looked solid for the money.
It sure looks like that's a joke, but there seems to be a lot of people that are either completely out of touch, or just throwing it out there to see if somebody will bite. I saw a nothing special Grand National yesterday for $88,000, and a 60's Chevelle, which I don't even think was a real SS car, for $129,000.
